How to Protect Your Business from Data Outages:

3 Ways to Keep Your Media Workflows Online

At ccktech, we understand how critical uninterrupted access to your data is – especially when your operations rely on high-performance storage. Below are three robust solutions designed to ensure data redundancy, resilience, and rapid recovery. Whether you’re safeguarding against cloud failures, hardware issues, or remote access disruptions, we can help you build a more reliable data infrastructure that keeps your team online and protected.

Multi-Device Syncing
Hybrid (Cloud/On Premise)
Your Own Cloud

Have you experienced a recent outage or unexpected downtime that disrupted your business?

Outages aren’t a question of if – they’re a question of when. The good news? You don’t have to risk downtime, data loss, or customer frustration. At ccktech, we help you build a resilient data environment using a blend of hybrid storage, RAID redundancy, and multi-device access. Whether you’re safeguarding files, improving uptime, or building a smarter infrastructure – we’re here to help:

Multi-Device Syncing: Access Anywhere, Same Version

What is it?
Your files available – and consistent – across desktops and laptops, with selective sync and proper versioning. A “single source of truth”.
How it helps:
  • Latest version is the one you open – in the office, on set, or on hotel wifi
  • Reduces single-device dependency and travel-day panic
  • Great for location work and hybrid teams
Who needs it:
Hybrid/Remote teams, on-set crews and producers who bounce between locations; Editors/Photographers who need just the right bits offline without dragging terabytes around.
How we can help?
  • Lucidlink for stream-open projects, Resilio or vendor sync (Qsync/Synology drive) where they fit
  • Selective pinning so laptops keep only what they need offline; sensible cache sizes so they don’t melt
  • Versioning/Retention aligned with your backup windows; SSO/MFA everywhere via MDM (Iru)
  • Project-aware paths so teams only see what they need

  • Managed backup for Lucidlink file spaces (object-lock, cross-region/provider replication, routine test restores) that sits neatly alongside our Lucidlink support packages

Hybrid Storage: On-Prem for Work, Cloud for Backup

What is it?
Do the latency-sensitive stuff locally; use cloud for DR, immutable backup, distribution and the odd burst of compute. Two control planes, one workflow.
How it helps:
  • Timelines play instantly on local NVMe/25–100 GbE
  • Predictable costs (No surprise egress every time someone hits play)
  • Resilience: if a region wobbles, the suite doesn’t, If the site hiccups, the cloud copy exists
  • Ticks UK reality boxes (GDPR, client mandates, data residency)
Who needs it:
Teams cutting/grading/VFX who feel every millisecond; anyone burned by egress surprises; organisations with compliance or client data-location requirements.
How we can help?
  • Fast shared storage on-prem sized for multi-user throughput
  • Policy-driven copy/move/tier via DNAfabric (on-prem ↔ AWS/Azure/Wasabi/Storj)
  • Nightly replication of project states to cloud object; immutable by default (object-lock)
  • Selective proxies for review/ai — don’t upload the world by reflex by iconik
  • ccktech Managed Backup

Your Own Cloud - Our Colo, Your Rules

What is it?
Host your kit in ccktech datacentre space. You get the flexibility of “cloud” – proper power/cooling, remote hands – with the predictability of owning your hardware and knowing where your data lives.
How it helps:
  • Cloud-like access without per-GB surprises
  • Full control over hardware, GPUs, storage tiers and security
  • Keep data sovereign, keep performance high, scale on your terms
  • Easy cross-connects to public cloud and direct links back to HQ/production sites
Who needs it:
Anyone that wants cloud convenience with fixed, on-prem-style costs; teams with data-sovereignty needs, anyone running bespoke rigs (GPUs, fast NVMe tiers) or predictable always-on workloads. Anyone that needs to host a full DR solution away from their main address.
How we can help?
  • Rack/stack, monitoring and management in our colo; VPN/SD-WAN back to your sites; optional direct peering to cloud
  • Metro/second-site replication for DR when you want extra belt-and-braces
  • The same Managed Backup stack (immutable copies, audits, test restores) across colo, on-prem and cloud so it all behaves like one environment
  • Capacity planning and cost modelling so you know exactly what you’ll spend before you switch it on.
Cloud is brilliant. On-prem is practical. Putting all your eggs in one basket isn’t. A true Hybrid deployment, with managed backups that actually restore – that’s the boring reality (and reliability!) most teams are chasing.
